A blast!

I have been visiting Ole Martin three times now, and still I get surprised by the enthusiasm shown by this marvellous nature guide.


This time I went together with the product specialist of Nikon Norway and representatives from pro dealer “Stavanger Foto”. They wanted to see how Norway Nature is run, as well as learning about the challenges (and joys!!) nature photographers are facing in their work. We spent three days with Ole Martin, and had a blast!


The first eagle swept down in a steep dive very close to the boat – setting the standard for the rest of the stay. We met all the familiar eagles in Flatanger, the cheeky Gulls and even a juvenile eagle sweeping down grabbing fish in front of well established birds - this guy will be a classic!


Extremely cooperative eagles, shifting light and stunning landscapes were served on silver plates by the best nature guide I know.


The short hours of darkness were spent outdoors photographing a nearby fox litter, giving very little time for sleep. Thanks Ole Martin – I will be back!

Holiday

Now I need some days with my family. Have been a long early summer, mixed weather but always something to do. Eagles have been very good also this summer, working with about 12 pairs and the best days this summer we have had about 30 dives in two sessions. Also other things like Gulls in nice conditions, Otter, some easy Red Fox and Seals. You must be out to get pictures.


Last week before our holiday we had some great weather, sunseth and just flat water. I feel i meet all the nicest people on this planet, i am very glad to meet you all.



Last days I had Tom Dyring and his wife Ingebjørg, Markus Varesvuo and his wife Minna, Staffan Widstrand and his daughter Mimi and Mimi's friend Julia.


The Editor from the magazin NATURFOTOGRAFEN - Svein Wik, a magazin for biofoto in Norway,Sweden and Finland, www.biofoto.no had a meeting with Staffan Widstrand www.wild-wonders.com.

Filming in the rainforest

Some weeks ago I did a new sesion with a filmcrew from Germany NAUTILUSFILM. They are doing television program about Scandinavia.


So Jan and his crew have been here many times the last year. This day we when up to a local Boreal Rainforest, this forest is protected now and that is great. There is not many plases left with such numbers of rare life, it's just a pleasure to be in such a forest.


They have found out that the air in such forest is the cleanes in the world. So I was out the with Julius for some shots and I think he got something:-)
